Poems, by Steve Grundy
Fanfares
celestial choirs
no
a soft ‘aha’
paradigm shifted
eating my breakfast
cat on my lap
if I need to add to it
I have not grasped it
I have misunderstood
we zen practitioners
need to
get over
our selves [sic]
just sit …
too simple …
we are desperate
to add to it …
Don’t
Drop attempts at explanation.
Drop teachings.
Sit.
Live life.
Nothing extra.
Nothing missing.
Nothing lasts.
Gratitude.
